M2 data path: BSD netisr workqueue + lock reentrancy fixes + diagnostics
- hooks: packets are queued to pfk_netisr ordered wq (process context) and re-injected with an skb->mark guard (PFK_MARK_PASSED); softirq-safe, documented divergence vs OpenBSD in-place ip_input continuation - pfk_rwlock: per-task writer recursion (NET/PF lock nesting like OpenBSD) - pfk_net: holder-task+depth reentrancy (pid-based hack removed) - ifnet events deferred to ordered workqueue (rtnl AB-BA fix) - idr iteration start index fix (kifs were never attached -> kif==NULL drop) - pfk_lock_trace module param for lock diagnostics - tests/vm: 01-state 02-block 03-tables 04-anchors + lib; vm-run-tests.sh - docs/en/install.md: apply/build guide (core patch set currently EMPTY)

# Applying the PF-on-Linux patch set / build guide
|
||||
|
||||
Both languages: this file is mirrored at `docs/pt-BR/install.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
Target: Linux **7.3.4** source tree + out-of-tree modules `pf.ko`
|
||||
(PF engine, divert(4) family, ifq queues). The port is currently delivered
|
||||
as a **source tree + zero core patches** (see patches/kernel/README.md):
|
||||
the module links against symbols the stock 7.3.4 kernel already exports.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
| Requirement | Why |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| gcc >= 15, GNU make, flex, bison, bc | kernel + pfctl build |
|
||||
| `glibc-static` (or musl-static) | static pfctl for guest VMs |
|
||||
| Linux 7.3.4 sources (`/home/lgcosta/lab/linux_kernel/linux-7.3.4`) | build target |
|
||||
| OpenBSD 8.0 `sys.tar.gz` + `src.tar.gz` | ported sources (fetched + sha256-verified by script; primary mirror openbsd.c3sl.ufpr.br, fallback cdn.openbsd.org) |
|
||||
| root on the build host | module signing not configured; `insmod` as root |
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Steps
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
cd pf_port
|
||||
|
||||
# 2.1 fetch + verify OpenBSD 8.0 sources (checksums pinned in VERSIONS)
|
||||
./scripts/fetch-sources.sh
|
||||
./scripts/vendorize.sh # stages _vendor/upstream + IDS.txt
|
||||
|
||||
# 2.2 prepare the kernel tree (config + build + external-module prep)
|
||||
KERNELDIR=/path/to/linux-7.3.4 ./scripts/build-kernel.sh
|
||||
# - defconfig + virtio/ext4 built-in (direct kernel boot for the VM lab)
|
||||
# - make bzImage modules_prepare
|
||||
# - copies vmlinux.symvers -> Module.symvers (needed by M= builds)
|
||||
|
||||
# 2.3 apply kernel core patches (currently NONE are required)
|
||||
./scripts/apply-patches.sh /path/to/linux-7.3.4
|
||||
# patches/kernel/series is empty by design; if future milestones need
|
||||
# exports, each lands as 000N-*.patch documented in docs/*/patches.md.
|
||||
|
||||
# 2.4 build the module and userland
|
||||
./scripts/build-module.sh # -> module/pf.ko
|
||||
make -C tools # -> tools/out/pfctl (static)
|
||||
|
||||
# 2.5 install on a running 7.3.4 system
|
||||
sudo insmod module/pf.ko # creates /dev/pf (0600 root)
|
||||
sudo cp tools/out/pfctl /usr/local/sbin/
|
||||
sudo pfctl -e # enable
|
||||
sudo pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf # real OpenBSD 8.0 syntax
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Verify
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
pfctl -s info # "Status: Enabled", live counters
|
||||
pfctl -nf /etc/pf.conf # parse-only check
|
||||
dmesg | grep pfk # hooks registered (netisr wq data path)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
VM end-to-end suite (Alpine 3.22 on libvirt): `./scripts/vm-create.sh`,
|
||||
`./scripts/vm-deploy.sh`, `./scripts/vm-run-tests.sh` — see
|
||||
`docs/en/vm-lab.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Uninstall / revert
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo pfctl -d; sudo rmmod pf # flushes rulesets/states
|
||||
./scripts/unpatch.sh /path/to/linux-7.3.4 # reverse-applies any future patches
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. What "applied" means here
|
||||
|
||||
Because the deliverable is an out-of-tree module, "applying the patch set"
|
||||
= steps 2.1–2.4; the untouched Linux tree is only *configured and built*
|
||||
(virtio/EXT4 =y) — no source files are modified unless a future milestone
|
||||
adds a documented `patches/kernel/000N-*.patch` (all such patches: one
|
||||
section each in docs/en/patches.md with what/why/impact/revert).
